Computers been acting really really choppy lately, few BSODs even. Hard drive getting pretty load too but I don't image these stats can be that serious. As of next week I use this computer for work, should I buy a new hard drive to be safe?

yes, often times, smart doesn't show anything, and the drive still fails. When I see a Smart error, I know its going to fail, especially if there is BSODs.

Get a new one, unless you don't mind it crashing on you when you least expect it.

make sure you have backups or all ur critical files. your smart values show that you the hard drive has bad spots that it cannot read correctly anymore and there for has been putting data in reserve area of the drive. but your reserve area is most the way used up too so that's why the warnings.

now you could be lucky and it was just a bad area on the surface and the hard drive will continue just to work around that area(its already knows the areas are bad) or it could be just wearing out and will be dieing very soon as more and more of the drive becomes unreadable. just remember SMART is hardware based so the hard drive controller itself is detecting the issue.
